This week started amazing. We head over to our friend
Bruce's house for lunch. We get there and Bruce has cooked us 5 different
dishes. He made some Spicy Chinese Fried Chicken, some Chinese Barbeque Pork,
Spicy Beef, Squid salad, and a Pork Soup commonly made in his hometown.
Let's just say, it was one of the best meals I have ever
had. Bruce loves to cook, but hates to cook for other people. Even his friends
will ask him to have them over and he will say no. But somehow, he respects us
so much that he will have us over every week and make us these amazing meals.
This week we were praying that we'd be able to help him feel
the Spirit and help him recognize that. At the end of the lesson, I found
myself testifying in Chinese. It wasn't anything magical, it's not like I was
fluent or could say everything perfectly, but I meant every word I said. At the
end we were like "Bruce do you feel that?" He said "Yes
brothers, I feel that, thank you". The Spirit was so strong!!
Our man Thomas that waved us down last week and invited us
into that family reunion came to church this Sunday! We texted him and he is
super busy during the week and just said "what's y'alls church address and
what time do y'all worship?". And BAM he came to church. Literally nothing
we did. It was so cool. Turns out Thomas's cousin that was at the reunion with
us plays for the Steelers and had us on his Instagram Live while we were
dancing with everyone. That is just so awesome haha. On top of that we were up in that neighborhood
again this week and this man pulls over and is like "hey y'all were at the
reunion! Y'all made my day, come by anytime! Imma stop and talk to yall when
I'm not in a rush" and speeds away. SO cool. Hopefully we'll run into him
soon.
Being an instrument of the Lord is the best thing about
being on a mission. Being in a position for the Lord to use you for the
betterment of His children is the most important thing. If you doubt God uses
you, remember two things: 1)God can do anything with a humble and willing heart
and 2) you're probably wrong.
Have a blessed week y'all!
